Lucent Technologies merlin legend communications system manual Special Characters

Special Characters

When you program Personal Directory listings, you are storing a sequence of numbers to be dialed automatically. Some dialing sequences need special characters. For example, you press the Hold button to insert a pause (p) after the dial-out code in a dialing sequence. This way, the system is allowed to seize an outside line before dialing the number. A pause can also be used to separate a phone number from an extension number.

The following table describes special characters. Ask your system manager which special characters are needed and when to use them.
